Former Blue Valley Southwest athletic trainer pleads guilty on child sex crimes
OLATHE, Kan. — A former Kansas City-area athletic trainer, who worked for the Blue Valley School District, has pleaded guilty for having inappropriate contact with minors.
Christopher Poskey entered a guilty plea Wednesday to two amended charges of sexual exploitation of a child.
The Kansas Board of Healing Arts announced last summer that Poskey surrendered his license and admitted there was enough evidence against him that the board would revoke it.
According to a notice published by the board, the Kansas City Child Exploitation Task Force arrested Poskey on March 31. The document shows he had conversations on social media with two girls whom he believed were under the age of 14.

The document shows he requested and sent sexually explicit images.
Following his arrest, Poskey allegedly told FBI agents that he had multiple sexually explicit conversations with minors while he worked on-duty as an athletic trainer. He also allegedly admitted he sent and requested elicit images, according to the document.
Officers arrested Poskey in April of 2023. He was a University of Kansas Health System athletic trainer who was working at Blue Valley Southwest High School at the time of his arrest.
At the time of the arrest, the health system said it employed Poskey for nine years and is cooperating with the investigation. Blue Valley is one of four school districts that partners with the health system’s sports medicine and performance center.
